:The problem is that Byter's FAQ is more or less copy pasted from some FAQS posted on gamefaqs and other sites, and I'm not sure if I have permission to edit his work and reproduce the modified version.

What to Do?
I just don't /like/ this sub-page article. Maybe it deserves its own article, maybe it needs to be incorporated into the main article. Where ever it goes, it needs a lot of work. Ideas? --Revanche (talk|contribs) 19:29, 22 July 2009 (UTC)
- Its certainly a jumble. It needs proper introduction to what its talking about. The breaking down the guide per progress parts of the game. It does is listing the original authors of the materials. The material could be broken up per section of the game. I think it needs be revamped all together. Its who has time to go over a 20 year old PC game fix to Strategy guide? -- Wrangler 19:44, 22 July 2009 (UTC)
- "Its who has time to go over a 20 year old PC game fix to Strategy guide?" Exactly! I'd say, who even reads it, but there is obviously still interest, since someone is adding to it. Since they won't register, makes me think they're not too keen on doing what is needed to fix it up...which leads me to think it should stay where it is, until someone cares to fix it up.
